See below: With a large herniated disc treatment is dictated by the symptoms. Most patients are managed with medication only, but if you have muscle weakness in your leg(s), or if your pain is excruciating and doesn't respond to medication you may need surgery. In most cases pain subsides within several weeks to a month. SEE: http://bit.ly/1wCMDpb
